The president has signed the COM
missions of Charles S. Fairchild as
secretary of the treasury and Isaac
II. Maynard as assistant secI etary OF
the treasury. Mr.. FaiIchild at once
entered upon the discharge of his
new duties. The officers and many
clerks o, the department waited
upon him early and ext, nded Their
cungrdtul atoms. He, as did judy.
Maynard, received Il profusion OF
flowers and congratulatory letters
and kilograms from all parts of the
country. The majority of the tele-
grams were from bankers and bust
ness men. New appointments
caused great rejoicing among the
employees, and they expressed uni
versal desire to be allowed to extend
their congratulations in person.
Apparently no promotions were ever
made in The treasury department
that met with such general favor
among the employees.

DULUTH, HURON AND DENVER.

At this time the HERALD can add
little to what it has already said rela.
tive to the benefits to accrue to this
village from the building of the Du-
luth, Huron and Denver railroad.
The ultimate purpose of this road.
which will, in due time be an &C
complished fact. is that it shall be
gigantic enterprise - nothing less
than a great trunk line, connecting
the transcontinental system of the
Union and Central Pacific roads with
the navigation of the great lakes. at
Duluth. The great tide Of commerce
across this continent will be divided.
and no unlmportant portion Of it
will pass over this line. And further
than that, when this gigantic scheme
shall have been accomplished, Sank
Centre will be an important point OH
the line, the end of two divisions
traverSing areas so unlike in natur.
al characteristics that the interests
of both will naturally converge here.
To the west is vast territory de-
void of trees, rich in agricultural re-
sources, and under the stin. illus given
it by this road it will rapidly become
thickly settled and every available
acre put under cultivation. That
portion of the road east of us will
traverse heavily timbered country
with an endless amount of lumber,
fuel and fencing. 1t will not only
furnish the prairie country with
these commodities, but will provide
raw material of the very best quality
for manufacturing purposes. Pro-
viding advantage be taken of the sit
uation a vast am ount of manufactur.
ing will be done here, it being by far
the best location for this purpose.
But our citizens will have to rise to
the occasion and do everything with.
in their individual and combined
power to realize these advantages.
The Immediate pre- emit benefits &C.
cruing to the village from the build
ing of the road are too entent to re-.
quire special mention. This village
is the initial point, and will be the
base Of supplies during the building
of the first hundred miles westward.
This one feature, ephemeral as it is,
will be no insignificant feature in
present and future prosperity. The
road comes to us with a strong feel.
ing of friendship and goodw will.
which our people most heartily
reclprocate.

The people of Todd county have
had little bit of unsatisfactory ex.
perience in lending their aid to rail-
road projects, 1--WE refer to the voting
of bonds for pony branch known as
the Sank Centre and Northern,) and
they do not hasten to enthuse on the
proposed crossroads talk. The pro.
posed ROAD giving direct outlet to
Duluth would be worth everything
to this county, and we hope the
people will interest themselves to Sc.
cure it if possible.-Leader.

vestment made by Todd county

county be willing to cancel its bonds
and be deprived of its "pony branch"
and the advantages which have &C.

The question of apportionment is
one likely to come forward with con.
siderable prominence before two
years shall roll around. Northern
Minnesota feels aggrieved, and justly
SO, at the disproportionate represen-
tation OF the older portions Of the
State, and the cities of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth are not on
an equitable basis with southern
Minnesota. 1t is not to be wondered
at that an extra session is strongly
favored for the purpose of balancing
representation,
